This is a topic that was brought up on a blog I read where a friend tried to take two homeless men he had met into McDonalds to have a meal on Christmas. They were not allowed entry because they have previously used the restroom and not been paying customers. My personal opinion is I see nothing wrong with them using the toilets and I am not offended by homeless people in any way. If I were to run across them, I would likely offer to buy them a meal. From a business standpoint, I think McDonald's has the right to reserve their toilets for paying customers. Therefore, if they did not purchase anything, they could legally ask them to leave the restaurant. However, when they came back with[..]

Top 3 Budget Restaurants in Central Madrid, Spain
If you've been to Madrid you will probably agree that the Plaza Mayor is the city center, and if you haven't now you know it´s a must for every traveler and exceeds expectations because of the traditional architecture and the overwhelming amount of tapas bars you can find here. I expect you to know what tapas are, but if you don't they are small bites of traditional Spanish food usually eaten as a mid-morning snack but found all day, every day, in every bar. Not surprisingly the restaurants and bars in this area are among the most expensive of the city, and should be avoided if traveling on a budget. But don´t despair because I know of[..]

Restaurants Data - Dealing With Guest Complaints
In a perfect world, there would be no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world and therefore have to deal with situations in which the people we interact are not satisfied or encounter difficulties. This is certainly true with food and beverage management. Ensuring that guests are fully satisfied and their problems resolved is a major component of having a successful food and beverage establishment.

Best Restaurants to Hang Out At
There are many good fast food places to hang out. Which one is the best? That depends on what you are looking for and what time of the day it is. I find that the time of year also can make a big difference as well. For instance, in the summer, places like Sonic are great because they are outdoors and allow you to enjoy the weather. In the winter, you might want someplace inside and also something that can provide you with a warm drink such as coffee or hot chocolate. One of my favorite food places to hang out in the summer is definitely Sonic. Like I said earlier, the outdoor drive up environment lets you enjoy the nice weather from the comfort of your car. They also have good ice cream[..]
Dastar, From the Arabic Kitchen - Restaurants in Hyderabad
What you see - The moment you step into Dastar, the fairy tale world of Arabian Nights will flood your mind. Well, almost...except for a missing troupe of belly dancers! Dastar gives you the option of a sit-out or a cozy meal inside. If you opt for the former, you could have your meal with a view of the KBR Park and if you are the indoor kinds, the private dining rooms are quite snug. What you get - The restaurant's specialty is the Arabic food that it dishes out, although the Chinese and the Indian spread is also available. However, it has more variety in the non-vegetarian fare rather than the vegetarian one. So veggies could stick to (and relish!!) the Veg Manchow Soup, Masala kulcha,[..]
Futurists for many decades now have considered the potential eventuality of growing meat without the animal. This would be much more humane and it would also mean we wouldn't have all the waste that we do today. Part of the big problems in the swine and chicken livestock business is all the waste that is created by these animals while they are living, and all the waste that is created during the processing period before they are packaged and shipped to the grocery store. In many places there are huge reservoir like pits where all this waste is stored. It often gets into the groundwater, or during flooding flows into the rivers and lakes. There have been cases where flesh eating bacteria[..]

U.S. trademark protection is granted to the first entity to use a particular mark in the geographic area where it operates, regardless of whether the mark is registered.

Making a meal of it
Eating out is something more and more people seem to be doing. Years ago eating out usually involved going to a restaurant and was a rare treat. Nowadays, more and more pubs sell food and the increase in restaurants that offer international cuisine, such as Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian etc., as well as "fast food" restaurants that sell the likes of pizzas, burgers and kebabs have increased dramatically. In Crewe in the 1960's for years there was only one Chinese restaurant which sadly closed down not so long ago. In addition there was one Indian restaurant called The Bombay which is now being run by the second and third generation. From memory the only takeaway food was Fish and Chips.[..]
The Noor Jahan; the best value for money Indian restaurant Nottingham has to offer. Being a thriving city, full of students, workers and commuters, Nottingham has a high demand for quick and easy food. However, as economics states, the higher the demand for a product, usually, the higher the price is charged for that product. You may find this in certain restaurants around the City of Nottingham, yet I believe that this does not apply when you visit a certain restaurant Nottingham is currently hosting. The Noor Jahan is an Indian restaurant Nottingham modestly hides away on Mansfield Road, amid tens of take-aways and fast food shops, yet in my own personal opinion it is quite easily the[..]
Tips For Buying a Restaurant Franchise
What are the odds of building a successful restaurant franchise from the ground up and lasting three years? According to a hospitality management professor who studied restaurant failures, it is less than 40%. A professor at Ohio State University authored a study that found 57% of all newly opened franchises will not survive beyond the three year mark. That is only slightly better than independent restaurants that experience a failure rate of 61%. Does this mean you should avoid restaurants altogether? No. A franchise restaurant can represent a great value if you know when to buy and how much to pay. This article will teach you with our three rules for franchise restaurant buyers. The[..]
restaurant industry, image is everything. The kitchen and waitstaff is the image of a restaurant. If an employee comes in and is wearing a dirty or unkept uniform, it is not putting forth a good image of the restaurant. It is a common occurrence for employees to have unclean uniforms, but they are simply sent home. If it happens frequently, they are let go. Most people visiting restaurants use all of their senses to evaluate the establishment in which they visit. Sight, sound, taste and smell will allow them decide if they will return again. When a waiter comes to the table and the consumer see that his or her uniform is pressed and white, they get the impression of cleanliness. When a[..]
Fru Inger Seafood Restaurant - Trondheim, Norway
Fru Inger seafood restaurant is very conveniently situated near the station looking out over the old harbour. With its original attractive wooden buildings built originally I assume for warehousing. I did not realise how large wooden buildings can be and these are fascinating all built on stilts to allow for the tide to rise and fall. There are now marinas on both sides of the harbour and we enjoyed watching one boat having docking problems. Going in far too fast with too much momentum and giving another boat and the mooring a good bash. A good healthy argument ensued, we felt some sympathy for the guy who got hit as you could see from way out that the boat was making a mess of it. The[..]

How Much Does it cost To Open A Restaurant?
Asking “How much does it cost to open a restaurant?” is like asking how much to buy a house, or to buy a car. While there are some guidelines to consider, the actual answer is determined by so many different factors, there is no way to set an accurate price that covers all different situations. Each restaurant is unique, and the price tag for each restaurant will be unique. When you begin to examine how much it costs to open a restaurant you first need to have a very clear idea of what, and where you want your restaurant to be. Where you locate your restaurant will be partially determined by where you are already located. That will be a big determining factor on the price of your[..]

Understanding a Restaurant's Energy Use
U.S. restaurants spend more than $5 billion per year on energy; in 2006, an estimated median expenditure of $161 per seat. Power use per square foot in a foodservice facility is greater than in any other kind of commercial building-more than triple what a hospital utilizes per square foot and at least six times what an office creating uses per square foot. On your profit-and-loss statement, utility expenses will be only 4 to 7 percent of the total operating expenses. However, National Restaurant Association studies suggest they are expenses that could be cut by as much as 20 percent with smarter energy consumption; utility companies claim you can realize savings as high as 30 percent.[..]

Try These 3 Cheeseburgers on Your Next Trip to Chicago - You'll Never Use American Cheese Again
I was never a big fan of cheeseburgers. While everyone else was singing their praises, I always just preferred a simple hamburger. I never knew why -- until I got older and started experimenting with different cheeses. It wasn't the cheeseburger I didn't like -- It was the cheese. Not to be a cheese snob, but we are really doing ourselves a disservice and missing out on a lot of taste by always eating our cheeseburgers with a thin slice of cheap "American process cheese food." Thankfully I'm not alone. Other people -- in particular cutting edge chefs -- have the same thought and are starting to experiment with real -- and "real good" -- cheese. Sharp cheddar is a great instant stand-in[..]

Creative Ideas for Restaurant Service - Home Dinner for Friends
l> Serve Historically "Flavored" Dishes: - Each dish you serve would have a special historical story or anecdote related to it. - The story may be written down on a small card or may be told by a waiter. - For special dishes you may even have someone dress up as the historical figure related to the event, and tell the story "in person". A Dinner with "a Secret Mission": - As the guests arrive, each draws an envelope with a mission they must complete by the end of the meal, without telling any of the other guests what the mission was. - If they succeed in doing so, they win a special treat (a desert or a gift of sorts). - If they fail - they get a symbolic "punishment".
